What's this L98 stuff? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bob Eyres · 07-30-2005

I just posted my first post, and i've got an L98 under my sig. Whats that about?

I think it about the number of your posts. After a few more you'll go to LT1, then LT4 and so on.

So L98 is bottom of the barrel?

Gee, I kinda liked my old L98!

I would not look at it to mean the L98 is "the bottom of the barrel". Rather look at the rankings of all the recent Corvette engines culminating with the ultimate LT5.

Just a thought, but why not make it a bit more "ZR-1" themed?

Like:
375hp LT5
405hp LT5
4xxhp Snake Skinner
4xxhp Black Widow

Just an idea, the specifics could be something different, and I've no idea what the ratings were for those last two motors.

or something endurance related like:

12-hour endurance record
18-hour endurance record
24-hour endurance record
5,000 mile endurance record

Note that I don't really know what all the records were the car set... Correct records would be the way to go, not the ones I just made up as an example.

I dunno... On an Aurora site I help run I went with the various versions of the Aurora motors that Olds used:

New Member
3.5L V6 Member
4.0L V8 Member
3.5L IRL V8 Member
4.0L IMSA V8 Member
4.0L IRL V8 Member
4.4L IMSA V8 Meber
4.0L TT ALMS V8 Member

There weren't that many variations of the LT5, so perhaps it isn't as easy to do. But something where they are all somehow related to the ZR-1 would be cool in my opinion.

Wheres the L83?

j/k

RiceEatingZR1 · 08-01-2005

So how many Posts does it take to get to be an LT5?

Jim Jones · 08-02-2005

I got my LT1 at 25 posts. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm sure that by the end of August someone will know how many posts it takes to get to LT5.

You are a 1/3 of the way there. You will hit an LT4 at 50 posts.
